Umpiring for Novi youth sports is a long tradition for many baseball-minded people in our community. Umpiring is a great way to learn how to work well in a leadership role. Our umpires are well-trained in the rules of the game and they are chartered with upholding the honor of the game.

NYBL maintains youth teams that range in age from 7 to 18 years old. There are inter-league games, select tournament teams and elite travel team play. Umpires are assigned games appropriate to their experience and skill level.

Pay ranges from $20-$60 per assignment.

The NYBL Umpire staff of 40-50 is responsible for making sure all games are played fairly according to the rules. On average, umpires have 3-5 years of experience but many have 10-15 years behind the plate. We add 10-15 new umpires each year.

Individuals that are 12 years and older interested in umpiring should contact the Umpire in Chief, John Slack. Send a note to [email protected] stating your interest, your age and umpire experience.2019 Clinic attendance requirements:
